Tales from the Floating Vagabond is a comedy game about a bar called¸ unsurprisingly¸ the Floating Vagabond. A bar that just happens to be at the center of the universe. (Well¸ one universe¸ anyway.) A bar that has a W.A.R.P.¸ Inc. Random Dimensional Portal Generator built into its revolving door¸ bringing in unsuspecting patrons from all across the space-time continuum who thought they were just walking into the neighborhood pub.

As in many multigenre games¸ TF2V adventures can take place in any twisted setting and deal with any unlikely plot the gamemaster - in this case referred to as the Bartender - can dream up. Unlike many such games¸ not even common sense need get in the way of a good story. Adversaries range from rival bar owner Solomon Crane and his humanoid rhino bartender¸ Crudd¸ to the intergalactic naughtiness of Hans Gelber¸ leader of the (da-da-da-dum!) Space Nazis. Then¸ of course¸ there are the Swamp Beasties and the B.E.M.s (Bug Eyed Monsters)...
